Changing the Oil
NOTE: Drain the oil when the engine is warm. Warm oil drains
quickly and completely.

workbench.
2. Remove the oil cap/dipstick and position a suitable oil receptacle
beside the oil fill tube.
3. Make sure to securely tighten the gas fill cap.
4. Using the handle of the trimmer/mower, tip the machine to drain
the oil out through the oil filler tube into a suitable receptacle.
